This Clare Valley array of wines is 1 of the finest of the many in the former BERINGER BLASS Australian stable now owned by Treasury Wine Estates (formerly acknowledged as Fosters). Named after Annie Wayman, a nearby persona in the late 19th/early 20th century, the wines have been previously manufactured at the historic Quelltaler winery but are now manufactured at the extraordinary Wolf BLASS facilities in the Barossa. The wines glow with fruit and are full and ripe with great stability and varietal expression. As may well be anticipated for Clare Valley, Riesling and Shiraz notably shine, as does Shiraz/Grenache/ Mourvèdre mix that includes about 50% Shiraz. The premium Copper Trail Shiraz is manufactured in open fermenters from South Australia Wine Guide unirrigated vines with part of the wine obtaining an extended maceration prior to two years’ ageing in mainly French oak barrels. The Riesling, the best worth of the whole lot, harnesses lovely Clare Valley fruit which is checked by very good acidity but like all the whites ought to be drunk youthful. Reds are greater with 3 years’ ageing or far more but will retain substantially longer.
